Abstract: 【Abstract】〓Objective〓To study the clinical and pathological characteristics of young and aged patients with colorectal cancer in Minnan area, Fujian province. Methods〓The clinicopathological features and survival time of 132 young patients with colorectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively compared with those of 893 aged patients. Results〓The main clinical manifestations were bloody stool or mucus bloody stool in both groups and the rectum was the most common site of tumor in the both groups. The ratio of mucinous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell cancer and the ratio of advanced stage (Dukes C+D) of the young group were significantly higher than those of the aged group. The five-year survival rate of the younger group was lower than that of the aged one.
